Well, AQUMN will succeed/fail on its own merits. But in terms of competition for screens, marketing, audience interest etc it's got
the advantage over every other late December release except Poppins, which has a different audience.
If AQUMN doesn't do well, it's not going to be from too much competition. It's because people just aren't interested in seeing it, and no release date change is going to affect that.
THR: Disney dates Jungle Cruise Oct. 11, 2019, Maleficent 2 May 29, 2020, Indiana Jones 5 July 9, 2021 Jul 10, 10:14
Wreck It Ralph 2 is now just RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET, MARY POPPINS RETURNS moved up from 12/25 to 12/19 {nm} Jul 10, 10:41
those two weeks are gonna be a disaster for four of those titles. Maybe 5. {nm} Jul 10, 10:51
There was a rumor Warner might move AQUMN up (likely December 7). {nm} Jul 10, 10:55
It would lose its holiday IMAX run if it moves. {nm} Jul 10, 11:04
Ya I agree, AQUMN should move to either Nov 30 or Dec 7 {nm} Jul 10, 11:57
I excluded November since Warner has Fantastic Beasts 2 coming out on the 16th. {nm} Jul 10, 12:01
Fantastic Beast only opened with $74M OW, so I can't see Fantastic Beast 2 Opening much bigger Jul 10, 13:06
WB is not going to cannibalize on itself. {nm} Jul 10, 13:19
yeah, only universal does that {nm} Jul 10, 13:26
Well if WB doesn't move AQUMN it's going to get cannibalized by it's competition. {nm} Jul 10, 13:30
AQUMN is the HIGHEST priced of the weekend. {nm} Jul 10, 13:33
Ya but there's just way to much competition on Dec 21 there all just going cannibalize each other, Jul 10, 13:46
The weak moves. {nm} Jul 10, 13:49
DC isn't exactly strong, so might be wise to move it. {nm} Jul 10, 14:05
Exactly. {nm} Jul 10, 14:08
Look at the competition though... Jul 10, 14:15
Well, we'll find out when the trailer debuts at SDCC. I just know a few had put out the rumor that it could move. {nm} Jul 10, 14:21
Well, AQUMN will succeed/fail on its own merits. But in terms of competition for screens, marketing, audience interest etc it's got Jul 10, 14:37
Moving AQUMN would actually be a sign of weakness to fanboys. {nm} Jul 10, 14:21
Whether or not it moves, fanboys will find something to complain about. {nm} Jul 10, 14:22
Why would WB give up the strongest box office over the holidays? {nm} Jul 10, 14:22
Moving it up a couple of weeks might actually make the Fanboys happy especially if they do it at Comic Con. {nm} Jul 10, 15:15
They used to a lot, with New Line, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Wedding Crashers same weekend, for example {nm} Jul 10, 13:52
That's a family film vs. a R-rated film. {nm} Jul 10, 13:54
Someone needs to move up to Nov 2 against NUTFR. S411 heard bad buzz even after reshoots Jul 10, 10:57
I was gonna say ALITA, but it has IMAX. WFARR has success with Christmas, so Bumblebee seems most logical. {nm} Jul 10, 11:09
We haven’t seen any footage or pics of Holmes, so it could easily be the one to move {nm} Jul 10, 11:11
Holmes is the only comedy that doesn't really compete with all the effects driven films. {nm} Jul 10, 11:15
Perhaps, but I remember Walk Hard all too well. {nm} Jul 10, 11:24
If it’s ready, they should move up, perhaps as early as October 17, Halloween and Mowgli should be easier competition. {nm} Jul 10, 11:30
I dunno, I think the only one this hurts is perhaps Marwen, the rest seem to be playing to different audiences. {nm} Jul 10, 11:10
7 of those movies are big budget with likely $200mil or more domestic greenlights. The market doesnt expand THAT much {nm} Jul 10, 11:18
